Cracked's 'Honest Ads' Imagines a World Where Streaming Services Are Actually Honest

Picture this: It's Wednesday night, and you and your partner (or cat, or dog, or Real Doll) are posting up on the couch, getting ready to veg out after a hearty dinner delivered by one of those apps that takes a huge cut from the restaurant's profits. All you have to do is pick something to watch. At first, this seems like an easy task. But it is no easy feat. Somehow with Hulu, Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, and, what's it called? Peacock? Whatever. There's never anything good to watch. And yet between all these same services, we're paying out the ass. A lot. If you're starting to feel like you're being scammed, you're not alone. And Honest Ads is on the case.
